The team really "like" you and want you to come in for an in-person interview, but you'd have to pay for your own flight ticket and expenses. The job is on the other coast. Worth it?

If they were serious, they'd cover the expenses. I was flown out for a barely above entry level position. When offered the role, was given a relo package. Don't get fucked over

@ AD1, I was flown out for an interview as a junior.

That sounds like it could be a "consider yourself lucky to work here" situation, which often enough appears to result in long hours and shitty pay.

like

Nope. If they really like you, they will fly you out. Doesn't matter your current level. If they don't have the funds to do it, they need to find an alternate way to make the interview happen. Otherwise I agree with a lot of folks here, sounds shady. They shouldn't be asking you to fly out on your own dime.

It will be awkward (and nearly impossible) to get reimbursed if they offer you a job and you turn it down.

No. Do the math - unless you are a millionaire, they have more money than you. Don't spend your money for their benefit. Skype, and offer to meet any of their people who happen to be flying to your town. Or, if you are considering a vacation near them, you could offer that up.

CD1 lol I know I know. It just seems like a really cool opportunity. I talked with a few cool peeps there and everything was going well till that...

This is how it goes. You're a super star fresh out of college/ivy league//whatever they define as worth flying you if junior. Or market is small and they have to pull candidates from large markets by flying them to their less desirable location. Or, you're a senior person as in senior manager of people where right fit is a delicate matter and they'll fly folks for those interviews.
Otherwise, it's a small shop which has no money to fly you and plenty of other candidates in their market, even though they think you're kinda cool. But they don't "like you" like you / you're not a jr superstar in order to fly you. Unless YOU wanted to fly yourself, then that's cool, they'll interview you.

Shady. If they cant fund the T&E, why not facetime, hangout, zoom instead? Agree with FCB1, it's a peak into future negotiations.

Too many unknowns for solid advice. If it's not a senior position, no they're not going to fly you in.

Hi,

I am done with the multiple rounds of technical interviews in PWC AC and HR confirmed that the feedback is positive and they are working on next process.
Its been one week I haven't received any communication on that. When I called HR, she told that background check team will reach out to me over email or call in some days.

Can anyone suggest if I should hope for the offer letter in this case from PWC AC or not.
Also, what salary I should negotiate for Senior Associate.

Now, they have mentioned it will be released next week.
